Charts Definition Language (CDL): Difference between revisions

The [[ChartsCompiler]] is obligatory after the introduction of the [[Extra Sensors|ExtraSensors]] module from version 6.5 onwards where the [[ChartsCompiler]] is used internally for defining and creating the charts for the [[Extra Sensors|ExtraSensors]] module which would otherwise - in a generic way - be virtually impossible. The ''CutilsCharts.def'' has a demarcation line which separates the Extra Sensors Charts (below) from the user charts (above). The user canmay define he wantswant to create his own Extra Sensor Charts and he can do so by setting the parameter ''UserModificationExtraSensorCharts=true'', if he does so existing [[Extra Sensors]] charts in the ''CutilsCharts.def'' file remain untouched.

A standard ''CutilsCharts.def'' and a ''CutilsCharts-example.def'' arecan be found in the distribution. The first for an initial minimum setup, the second to guide the user into the possibilities.
